“Mary was a wonderful pet and house sitter. From long walks to administering meds she handled it all perfectly. Our pets throughly enjoyed her company and our house was in good condition, if not better, than we left it. Highly recommend Mary for all your pet sitting needs even though selfishly I’d like to keep her all to myself.”
“Erika was a great cat sitter. She kept us up to date with texts and pictures from the get-go, and made great use of toys and treats to keep our cat loved while we were away. She was great with keeping on top of the small maintenance like watering our plants and cleaning the litter, and left the apartment better than she found it. Would certainly hire her again!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Laura watching our dog, Karma! We were gone for a week for our destination wedding and we were able to fully enjoy our time knowing she was well taken care of and in good hands! Laura was very diligent about taking lots of notes over all of Karma’s routines and needs when we initially met with her and kept us updated on her each day that we were gone!”
“We recently have started using Rover to assist with dog sitting while we are out of town. I chose Theresa because she has a background of taking care of senior dogs, special needs, and medication administration. She was great with daily updates/feedback. We had been out of town for 3 weeks, she assisted with part of that time. While my dog was in her care she noticed an unusual cough. I was able to set up a veterinarian appointment for the next day. She was happy to take my dog to the vet's office. And called me during the appointment to talk with the veterinarian. Unfortunately, it was not the best news but she was able to administer the new medication, so my dog could be on his way to better health. I appreciate her noticing the issue, and taking care of it. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Linda was very attentive to Maisie and Oakley! Linda followed their early AM schedule and frequent outs. Lots of love and walks. Great communicator, with daily photos of events and text updates. Initially, Linda was very concerned about some quirks each dog had, but after talking to me, she realized those quirks were no cause for concern. Time away from home flew by and we came back to a peaceful and tidy home! Thank you, Linda!”
“Kassi was great with our doggies! She was a godsend on short notice and took care of 4 dogs for us during a family emergency. Super sweet and our dogs loved her! Thanks Kassi. Hope to be able to use you again!”
“This is the second year Kristi has stayed with our dogs and cats. They were excited to see her again, her communication is excellent, she sends fabulous pictures, and everyone was in great spirits when we returned. I highly recommend Kristi!”
“Dominique (Domi as she likes to be addressed) did a fantastic job. We asked her to stay all night and day from Friday night until Sunday mid-day. We have 2 little dogs and one had an injured leg that required special attention. Domi took pics of our little ones and sent them to us and kept us informed of how thy were doing. The house was just how we left it. We will absolutely have Domi come back and stay again.”
“Laura was great. Her communication is excellent. She took care of all of our animals. Gave our cat medicine daily. By the end of our trip, our dog was sleeping with her at the foot of the bed. Laura will be our go to next vacation!”
“Tricia took such great care of our boy! We had to make some last minute changes due to a family emergency with our other dog-sitter and Tricia did a wonderful job of making us feel comfortable and confident. She sent lots of pictures and updates which I love!!”
“Bat was such a wonderful house sitter for us! I really feel that she loved my pets as her own. She kept us updated throughout her stay and was also really flexible and helpful when we ended up in a bind with scheduling. She’s true animal person and very knowledgeable. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a house sitter, and we will definitely be rebooking with her!”
“Jessica was amazing! She stayed at our house with our lab while we were on vacation. She sent many pictures and kept us updated on how things were going! She left the house very clean and even brought us flowers :) I highly recommend Jessica and look forward to having her stay again.”
“Kendra is a repeat dog /house sitter for us. She always does a great job with our dogs and is very mindful of our house- don't even know she was here. She keeps us updated with photos and any concerns. We will definitely keep using her for she is very responsible and we can tell she loves our fur babies.”
“We were so thrilled to have Mark, take care of our babies. He was so nice, polite, and professional on what he does we highly recommend him and we definitely will be having him be our permanent sitter for our babies.”
“Jason was a fabulous dog sitter who watched our dog in our home for five days. He was responsive to communications, sent sweet pictures of my pup during their time together and I came home to a house that was much cleaner than I'd left it. I'd definitely recommend him and seek him out next time I go out of town.”
“Elizabeth is awesome! She has a great background with animals, so you feel confident that she’ll give them the love and attention they need. Newton and Tucker took to her quickly.”

Tracy did a great job looking after our farm while we were away as per usual. She looks after the dogs especially well as they can sometimes be a somewhat boisterous group but she takes it all in her stride and gives the pets the best care possible and we highly recommend her.
BETTI WAS A WONDERFUL DOG SITTER FOR MY 3 DOGS AND ALSO MY HOME. SHE WATERED PLANTS AND WENT THE EXTRA MILE TO FEED 2 PICKY EATERS - ONE OF WHOM HAS TO BE HAND FED. THEY ALSO GOT THEIR WALKS, WHICH IS A BIG DEAL TO THEM. I KNOW THE DOGS LIKED HER BECAUSE WHEN SHE RETURNED TO PICK UP A FEW THINGS THEY WERE OVERJOYED TO SEE HER. I WOULD USE BETTI AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT.
Mary was a wonderful pet and house sitter. From long walks to administering meds she handled it all perfectly. Our pets throughly enjoyed her company and our house was in good condition, if not better, than we left it. Highly recommend Mary for all your pet sitting needs even though selfishly I’d like to keep her all to myself.
Erika was an amazing pet sitter. She did great with our 3 dogs. She went above and beyond in taking care of our dog who had an ear infection. She went and picked up his medication from the vet and administered to him. She sent several photo updates and was great with communication. She was also sweet enough to offer to do some light housekeeping tasks prior to our return home. I highly recommend Erika and plan to use her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Briggs on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 628 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Briggs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Briggs walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Briggs maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Briggs choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Briggs. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
